I was shocked and appauled when I went along to my local RLC TA unit to join and found the trucks to be more like something form WW2.

Its a shame the americans dont open a branch in edinburgh with their fancy trucks and hummvees. Shootting out the windows of an armed car would be more amussing than dismouting to get lauaghed at killed driving such a bomb. If I want to get laughed at for driving a bomb I drive my fiesta down the road.

I too am 'shocked and appauled'. You, clearly, have the 'drop' on the RLC my ol' china. You have demonstrated the ability to identify trucks 'form' WW2 and you will be pleased to hear that you have passed the 'in' test. You can now look forward to your Basic Training where you will be taught such interesting subjects as 'Shootting' and 'Driving Armed Cars'. Once you pass basic you'll move onto Phase 2 where you will get taught how to 'dismout' properly from a bomb so that no-one will lauagh at you getting killed in your fiesta down the road.

I have to agree with you about those pesky americanos and their fancy trucks though.....................................

I think that you will find that there are a lack of MTD's for ECH and most funding is used for MATT's etc. Most TA soldiers would not be thrilled to discover that tonight's training is "patch painting by numbers". Not an excuse though.

I initally applied to join the RLC as oppose to another TA because it was near, mixed and had no waiting time for recuitment. I also went to intelligence and signals, I found intelligence insincere and signals a bit schemey.
